Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 139

"This has been practically a series of lessons on "how not to play" Persona 4 properly.  So I'm not sure if I want to see another endurance run after this, maybe if it's on a game that I don't give a crap about so I won't care how they botch it up. "

The fun of the ER is watching them play a game brand new to them and seeing their experiences with it. ANd like many others have said, is there a "wrong way" to play the game? Because if so, then that "way" is actually serving them pretty well. Everyone plays the Persona series in their own style, that is, unless you followed a FAQ or guide."

Rolling that Cybele was painful.

" I hope you jackasses know that they don't read the comments anymore especially this week since all the episodes are recorded since Jeff is out of the office. So all your crying and complaining is falling on deaf ears because not only do Jeff and Vinny not care (the very reason they stopped reading the comments) but neither does anyone else here. So, you can continue to bitch and moan and scream about "OMG! LRN2PLAY! I R PERSONA MASTA! YOU SUCK!" but no one gives a shit. If the way they play the game really bothers you THAT much, I suggest you get out a little more. "

Odd, that I have also noticed you yourself to be one that has begun to regularly make posts such as these.  If you don't mind my suggestion, perhaps no one "gives a shit" about about your grievances either, and perhaps the best course of action is to let the whiners continue whining ineffectually, and for you to also "get out a little more"?

If P4 offered a simple "pick stuff to inherit" option, they would have been done in about five. If I played the game, that would be my pet peeve. "

Fuse Loki! He is a badass! He gets a spell that is really awesome and I think only he can learn. I may not even be inheritable, but don't quote me on that. I think he also learns null fire or something that covers his weakness.

Try Devil Survivor on the DS.  It lets you do that and is awesome in general. "

Ah man, I've mostly stopped watching these regularly but I'm really glad I got to see the epic return of Funky Student.

Lets get down to business... to defeat... the Huns!
 
EDIT: In Persona 3, I got 7 million yen by the end of the game. Did they change the money system, or was I stingy?

It sounds cool when Vinny whistles!

Vinny whistles way too fucking loud.  I have the volume on my laptop down quite a bit and the door to my room closed and my roommates, who are downstairs, can still hear it.

I hope I find my Riddle Soulmate one day...

Only on Giantbomb will you hear about Kegel exercises while watching people play a game hahaha.

So wait, Funky Student knows that chemistry bollocks and he hasn't been studying?
 
Besides riddles are supposed to be plays on words or based on general knowledge, you know fun stuff. Fucking Japanese nerds just don't get it *sigh*.

Way to go, riddle bro!

It's banarnars, B A arna arna arnars!

As much as I love this game, and I really do, watching the ER again really highlights that the way fusing works is absolutely absurd. I'm not saying you should be able to choose abilities, though I don't really think that'd be a problem, but the fact that they don't have a reroll button, forcing you to back almost all the way out every single time, is completely ridiculous.

Did anyone else cry when they sold the Kitchen Knife?
 
...No?

okay.  suggestion for Person 5:
 
if there's fusing, and a persona can learn a particular spell, let the player pick that spell from a list.  This randomness is awful.

I'm watching the Endurance Run again for the second time. I remember feeling cool 12:50ish because I was 17 at the time and I did see Just One of the Guys. 

Haha. Loved the Airplane reference.

@HerbieBug: I don't really like the random inheritance system, but I don't think simply picking any skill you want is the solution. Devil Survivor essentially let you do that, and it was lame. (The system, not the game.) At the end of the game basically every demon ended up with the same skillset.

What I want to see is them greatly restrict what can be inherited by each Persona, thus cutting down on the random shuffling, and also bring back the spell cards from P3P, letting you simply give a Persona a specific ability instantly. (Though I would probably restrict that a bit more too, since it was way too easy to make ridiculously overpowered Persona's in P3P.)

@Zeik: If you could just pick any skills you wanted, you could just make really powerful guys at your whim. I think that's the point of it being random.

@VichusSmith: ...So you agree with me then, since that's exactly the point I was making.

@Zeik: Yeah, sorry, I was responding to the other person.

!

That "Just One of the Guys" scene is really good.

Way too much whistling in this episode for my precious ears. :(

Let's get outta heaven...

"Tooth and plaque conspiracy..." Solid ATHF reference.

"...and Metallica."

Why is there still school when finals are over? Aren't finals supposed to be final?

YEAH! Sneeze guns! 14:00!!
